Figure is a schematic of these FCG regimes. In the first regime, short/small (i.e., short and small) fatigue cracks nucleate at a variety of Microstructural modification is especially attractive for alloys with pronounced hot cracking susceptibility.

Aluminum–lithium alloys are one such class of materials. Since the hot cracking tendency is known to be a function of weld metal composition, several crack resistant filler materials such as AAAA and AA are in common ://   Environmental fatigue resistance is comparable with series alloys and better than type alloys.

The accelerated growth of small fatigue cracks, strong anisotropy, poor short-transverse properties, and a sensitivity to compression overloads are the principal disadvantages of Al-Li :// Get this from a library.
